1-Getting started with this recipe: Begin by preheating your oven to 450ºF and placing a large rimmed baking sheet on the center rack to get it nice and hot. This step ensures your cauliflower roasts evenly and develops that crave-worthy crisp.

2-Next: take your cauliflower florets and toss them in a large bowl with the olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Make sure every piece is coated for maximum flavor. Spread the mixture evenly on the preheated baking sheet, avoiding any crowding to let the heat work its magic, and roast for 20 to 25 minutes. Remember to toss halfway through so they cook uniformly until lightly charred and tender.

3-Once that’s done, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and minced garlic over the cauliflower and pop it back in the oven for another 5 minutes. This adds that extra layer of garlic-infused goodness and a cheesy crust. Finally, before serving, drizzle with the juice of half a lemon and garnish with the fresh parsley for a bright, fresh finish that ties everything together.
